Royal Scotsman, a Belmond Train

The Royal Scotsman, Belmond’s luxurious train, carries guests into the majestic Scottish Highlands. With its Edwardian elegance and the comfort of a country house, it offers a truly incomparable journey. On board are 22 beautifully appointed cabins, including the opulent Grand Suites that promise the very height of luxury. Culinary highlights await in the train’s two dining cars, where refined local specialties are served. The Observation Car with its open-air veranda reveals breathtaking views of the passing landscape, while the exclusive spa carriage, inspired by the Scottish wilderness, offers pure relaxation.

Kids & Teens

Children aged 12 and over are welcome on board. While there are no dedicated programmes for younger guests, the sweeping scenery and luxurious surroundings are sure to captivate them too.

Guests with a taste for fine dining can indulge in exquisite tasting menus, accompanied by a distinguished selection of whiskies. Experiences include private tours of historic castles and charming villages, as well as soothing treatments in the Bamford Spa, while the dramatic Highlands unfold beyond the panoramic windows.
